Wireless Networking Considerations

When you are planning your network, observe the following considerations for
all wireless connections.
• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. You
should plan your network to use network cables, but if it is not possible,
FUSION PartyBus devices are Wi‑Fi
wireless routers or access points.
• You can configure a FUSION PartyBus device as a wireless access point,
so you can connect devices within wireless range.
• If you install a wireless router on the network, it should be configured to be
the DHCP server by default. See your wireless router instructions for more
information.
• If you do not install a router or wireless router on the network, you must
configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP server.
• You can configure any FUSION PartyBus device on the wired network to
be a wireless access point, even if you install a wireless router or additional
wireless access points on the network. This would be useful to allow
access to devices in range of the stereo but not in range of the other
wireless access points.
• If you connect a FUSION PartyBus device to the network wirelessly, you
cannot connect any additional wired FUSION PartyBus devices to that
device.
• You can connect a smartphone to the wireless network to control any
stereo on the network using the FUSION-Link

Constructing a Network

You should have a basic understanding of networking when building a network
for FUSION PartyBus devices.
These instructions guide you through the basics of building and configuring a
network, and should apply to most situations. If you need to perform advanced
networking tasks, such as assigning static IP addresses to devices on the
network or configuring advanced settings on a connected router, you may
need to consult a networking professional.
1
Determine the installation location of the FUSION PartyBus devices you
want to connect to the network.
NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections.
When planning your network, you should run network cables instead of
using wireless connections when possible.
2
Determine the installation location of any needed network routers or
switches.
3
Route Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to the installation locations of the
stereos, switches, and router.
4 Connect the network cables to the stereos, switches, and router.
NOTICE
Do not completely install the stereos yet. You should test the network
before you install the stereos.
5
Turn on all devices connected to the network, including wireless devices.
6
Select an option:
• If you are not using a network router (wired or wireless), configure one
FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP server (Setting the FUSION
PartyBus Device as the DHCP Server, page 7). All other stereos
should use their default configuration (automatic IP).
• If you are using a network router (wired or wireless), consult the
documentation provided with your router to configure the router as the
